Fossil Free Menno is about a big problem, a medium-sized denomination and a simple spirited idea.

The problem is climate change, the denomination is Mennonite Church Canada, and the idea is a refusal to invest in the companies that profit most from destruction of the climate.

Fossil Free Menno is not an organization with grandiose visions, but an opportunity to sign a little letter—the Open Letter on this site. It is an imperfect, incomplete step by people who believe the church must lead.

It is a call, a prayer, a small step of faith.

At the core of Fossil Free Menno is the hope, angst and care of all those who have signed the Open Letter. Scroll down or see the menu bar above to sign and to see who else has signed.

We have the solutions to the climate crisis. What is missing to solve the climate crisis is political will. We the people need to tell our elected officials it’s time that polluting industries pay a “dumping” fee, and that we want the money returned to households to help us all make the shift to the clean energy economy of the 21st Century. The price of more delay is economic and human disaster. Our children deserve better.
